Cali-Medellin war

The Cali-Medellin war occurred between 1988 and 1992 when the Cali Cartel of Helmer Herrera and the Medellin Cartel of Pablo Escobar feuded over the rights to drug trafficking in Los Angeles in the United States. The two cartels engaged in a series of assassinations and massacres, including the Monaco bombing of 1988, the assassination of Gustavo Gaviria in 1990, and the Cali soccer field massacre later that year. Herrera offered a ceasefire in 1992, offering to pay $3,000,000 to settle the Los Angeles dispute, so Medellin Cartel acting leaders Fernando Galeano and Gerardo Moncado were sent to negotiate with him. They told him that they would be fine with $10,000,000, although Escobar wanted at least $12,000,000; when they returned to Escobar, he told them that he would accept no less than $30,000,000 if Cali wanted peace.
